Things are can't live without

Apart from my medications and my wife (not necessarily in that order LOL) There are a number of things I just can't live without. They include: (1) sugar-free chewing gum (because it keeps my mouth moist and my teeth unfurry! (2) saline nasal spray (FESS in Oz) which I use quite liberally as it moistens my nose and loosens the accumulated mucus both in my nose and also my throat (many of us suffer from sinusitis or post-nasal drip) - its not magic but it helps. (3) my exercise bike (for obvious reasons, and I am ignoring my treadmill - also for obvious reasons - too hard work unless I am feeling really good or need to engage in some masochism! (4) my massage chair which eases the muscles in my back - used regularly.

Without them life would be a little harder to cope with.

I couldn't live without my husband. The other week he was away all week and I hadn't appreciated just how much he does for me. I'm still in bed and he has got up to deal with Ocado shopping - which is early. I have told him how much I appreciate him.

Do you rent her out?

It wouldn't be cost effective.A replacement for time away would be exhorbitant,and they probably would not take to be ordering around to kindly,or under the duvet.
